[Endometrial Adhesions] If Your Menstrual Flow Has Decreased and You’re Having Trouble Getting Pregnant, Here’s What to Check First

  • Endometrial adhesions refer to a condition in which the inner walls of the uterus stick together, which can affect the shape of the uterine cavity or the flow of menstrual blood.
  • If your menstrual flow has noticeably decreased or stopped following a D&C after a miscarriage, uterine surgery, or an intrauterine infection, or if you are experiencing recurrent miscarriages or difficulty conceiving, you should consult an OB/GYN to determine whether an evaluation of the uterine cavity is necessary.
  • It can be concerning if your menstrual flow decreases significantly compared to before after a miscarriage or childbirth, or if you experience lower abdominal pain around your expected period but have almost no bleeding.

[Interstitial Cystitis] If your urine test results are normal but you experience recurring bladder pain, check for interstitial cystitis

  • Ulsan Interstitial cystitis may be suspected when a patient experiences recurring bladder pain, frequent urination, a sensation of incomplete emptying, and pelvic discomfort, even in the absence of a clear bacterial infection.
  • Rather than simply repeating antibiotic treatments as if it were a simple case of cystitis, it is important to consider the results of the urinalysis, the location of the pain, and any connections to diet, stress, and the menstrual cycle.
  • It’s frustrating when you experience frequent urges to urinate and lower abdominal discomfort—similar to a urinary tract infection—but are told your urine test results are normal.

[Residual Urine Sensation] If you don’t feel completely relieved after urinating, you should consider both residual urine sensation and bladder sensitivity.

  • Ulsan When consulting about a sensation of residual urine, it is important to distinguish whether the patient is actually unable to fully empty their bladder or whether they repeatedly experience a sensation of residual urine even though test results show minimal residual urine.
  • A sensation of incomplete bladder emptying may occur alongside cystitis, overactive bladder, urethral irritation, pelvic floor tension, constipation, menopausal mucosal changes, and stress.
  • By compiling the results of the urinalysis, the voiding diary, and information on whether you experience frequent urination, urinary urgency, or pain, we can examine the underlying cause in greater detail.
